This week, after a a few delays, I was finally able to interview a couple of the masterminds behind DisCO (Distributed Cooperative Organization). I spoke to Stacco Troncoso (@StaccoP2P) and Natalia Avlona who are both members of the crew working on DisCO, also called DisCONAUTS.
A DisCO is an alternative / critique / complement to DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) that focuses more on P2P/commons, cooperatives, and feminist economics. During the interview we cover what some of these concepts mean, the differences between the politics of DisCOs and DAOs, and their experience with working in a DisCO. To learn more about DisCOs, check out their very well written DisCO Manifesto.
